1. Wow.
Two things that stood out for me:

The first Eisenhower quote.

The idea that the $138 billion could immunize every human on earth.

33. The $138b could do ALL the things in that list. Not just one thing.

12. Just sent it to MTV.
But in general, if you arent on a major label, fuggedaboudit.

Nice use of the "pop-up video" style though (or is that VH1?).....

16. Excellent; and I think that movie speaks volumes about why David
Eisenhower is a Kerry man.

His grandfather must spin in his grave about Iraq.

20. Here is a link to Eisenhower's farewell:
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 05:18 PM by No2W2004
http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield.


Gee, Ike was speaking about Haliburton in 1961!

I have passed it on, definitely a powerful video. I don't know why out of all the images, but the little girl with the peace sign on her cheek for some reason got me all choked up both times I watched it! Definitely a great video, pass it on!

40. That's what it's about. Kick the warlords out! Un AMERICAN!...ha!
If we are told the truth and we are not managed we will support the people who want what's best for America.
What do they want for America?
They have pushed so long and hard to try to regain something ? Is
it good old boy power or do they really feel their actions are but a means to and end .
Is there nothing they won't do to get there?
I agree with going after Al-Qaeda and all people who
want to commit deadly acts on our country,but when did we become a lynch mob?
America stands for freedom and justice to the whole world . Bush has made us fools and bullies with pride covering our insight and fear covering our grace.

41. Absolutely Beautiful...
Fuck you Sean Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly, Boortz, etc..

That song and movie was amazing, but it really pissed me off. This country is the greatest country. I just wish there weren't so many stupid people living in it.

43. This is what WE have been waiting for.
You know I was around during the 60's and it was the music that kicked our asses and made us unite. It's about time someone was so motivated to come up with a powerful tool for the Truth. Let Us now take this and spread it from one corner of the world to the other.
Democrats GET OFF YOUR ASSES and GET BUSY.

You should be feeling really good...will you come out and defend those of us who stood on "street corners in Middle America" both BEFORE & AFTER Iraq Invasion with our "home made signs" where we protested what we knew was an "Invasion that was A LIE?"

46. Will I defend you?
What have I been doing every single day if not defending you, publishing your arguments for you?

You slay me, Koko. Every chance, the short blade driven deep.
